The Pittsburgh Steelers placed an unrestricted free agent tender on 42-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers on April 28, 2026—shortly after the NFL's April 27 deadline—a seldom-used move (six times league-wide in the past decade) to secure a potential 2027 compensatory draft pick if he signs elsewhere. Owner Art Rooney II and head coach Mike McCarthy downplayed its impact on ongoing re-signing talks, expecting a deal soon despite Rodgers' indecision and speculation about other teams.

Pittsburgh Steelers officials are not frustrated with Aaron Rodgers taking time to decide on returning to the team, according to ESPN reporter Adam Schefter. Schefter shared this update on The Pat McAfee Show, noting expectations for a resolution before the NFL Draft. The team remains patient despite delays.
